SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. *outhrvn e’oitffilrtarn j. nujn. V'MMITH, VO-K4UM-. * — -» i a* ~ *» ATLANTA, QIOIOIAI TUESDAY, MAliCII li>, 1801. Kew Arrangement* In consequence of the pressing official en gugcmcnts of Col. Thomas C. Howard, and the acceptance by Maj. Robert A. Crawkobd of 4 gentlemen hare been enabled to devote such nttcutifff'to thia jjyfeial m tllej .d,«ind,i>r; ni at all •l(ilf»cl«i7 to tWrfuekoda. limy ,. , MUjqiunlJy, yit Idcd the tripod, through an fniperitivo sense of dTuhr, UuTwm conli uue, We pert with both with regret. Our brief as sociation has been exceedingly pleasant, and we treat fdtittieTI/ bhncffeltl; To Maj. Craw- foud, who may at arty moment be summoned to the warn, we wish long life and renown; and to Ool. Howarp—who has been our chief dependence since his first connection with our enterprise, and who only consented to assume the position temporarily—we wish health, hap piness, and prosperity. We are gratified to announce to our frieuda that wa have associated with os permanently in the Editorial conduct of the “Southern Confederacy* Mr. J. Hbxi.y Smith, a gentle man of great experience as a writer, and fami liar with the leading nion and politics of the old and new Confederacies. As my friends, the Proprietors of the “Southern Confederacy,* have intimated, my connection, as Assistant Editor, with that pa per was only intended by me to be temporary. My friendly Interest In their enterprise, and the ardent desire I felt to aid, if I could, in pro moting end confirming kindly feelings and rouetrucUons on the part of the public for our new government, alone influenced me attempt ing to perform, even for a time ever so abort, tho duties of Editor of a Daily paper. Those labors, as I find them, are entirely incompati ble with the oversight and care that a consci entious Postmaster owes to the public. I, therefore, relinquish the post, and feel grateful in doing so that I leave my labor to be per formed by so much abler hands, and the “Southern Confederacy” in such prosperous circumstances. T. C. HOWARD. SALUTATORY. In assuming the duties of co-Editor of the *■ Southern Confederacy," I give my warmest und most friendly salutations to all its readers. Though 1 have some experience as a writer, the Editorial Chair is new to mo. I therefore, for a time at least, earnestly solicit the kind indul gence of all readers. My whole time and at tention, with my best energies, shall be devoted to the interest of the paper. My determination is, to make a paper that will be every way ac ceptable to the reading publio. The latest in telligence and the most interesting reading matter, will always be found in the columns of the Confederacy. 1 promise the public, that the paper shall maintain il3 hitherto high mor el tone. It shall be respeotful to all men and parties. I hope to merit the confidence and re spect of my brethren of tho Press everywhere, us well rs of all other persons. Hoping the paper will be entirely successful, that it will give satisfaction to all; and with iny best wishes to the retiring Editors, that they may be successful and happy through life, 1 now close those salutatory remarks. J. WIII 8M1TH. The Posfotlire Department. There is no subject connected with our new Government, upon which a more general inter est is felt, than the Postal service. We have so lung bad mail facilities extending their ram ifications to every neighborhood throughout tbe whole country, that we shall, no doubt, be more sensitive to any change iu this service, which will, ip any degree, affect the regularity fend frequency with which wear# supplied, than any other change incident to the successful in auguration of oar new Government. It is a very great misfortune to our people, that the Government ever assumed the transportation of our letters and papers. It has learned us to look to the General Government with tbe eyes of expectants and depeudanta upon its gra- ciouauess and bounties, for one of the most needful of daily supplies. This never should have been so. The people should not look to, or expect anything from, the Government un der which they live, except good laws and peace and security in person and property.— Any dependence upon the Government for that which we continually need for personal com forts, is corrupting, demoralizing, and of ruin- oat tendency. It makes the control of the Government—Uie shaping of its policy, and dispensing of its patronage, an object to be *<•: ambled for, as the stakes upon a gaming ta ble, when blacklegs defy the rules of their game, and endeavor to clutch whatever may be in their power. The people should supply their own wants; and the Government should no more monopolize tho carrying of our letters than it should the carrying of our Cotton to market, or auy other branch of tho carrying trade. Privato enterprise should supply us with our mails, us it does with our merchan dize. It cottld thug be date cheaper, With far more certainty end Celerity, and be in respon sible hand*. » If the United States Government had, from tbe first, assumed, tho entire transportation of the country— had built and owned all the ships und Railroads—all the stages, and all the mules uud wagons engaged in the transportation of product and merchandize, to and from market -j.feMbiUag all gaimsfom engaging In this business, we should have felt such a depend ence upon it, and 4 would have bad euoh a power over us, aa would have been exceedingly dangerous, and coyU-d have been easily used to oppress us. If such had beon the conditionof s Hairs, our late seceeeion eculd nevar have been ac cam pile bed. T Now, any Government has exactly the same right td (he exclusive monopoly of tbe whole carrying trade, or any other branah of trade, or industrial pursuit, that it haa to tha carry ing of letters, fn the establishment of our new Goverutptul, the mail service will be, to aome extant* disturbed. We ahall aaceeeatily have somi laceflYoniewcae, though we do notappre- hend they will be greet or serious. Our shak ing Jr of the old, and inaugurating tbe new Government, has been attended with far less ’dera*ga*ent,tHn» tha mort Sanguine had an ticipated; and the little that we have experi aured, has been bravely sad nobly borua by anr patriotic people. This sugars well for the future, and is a guaranty that our Government will be austained \u the changes it will have to make in the Post Office Department—though this matter will be more generally felt by our people, than anything else; indeed it is the only thing that everybody will feel, in all tho changes that our new Government will necessitate. We are assured from the very (highest «uithority, that there will be no serious derangement; and that eD changes that are made in our preseut postal affairs, will be re formatory, and to the ultimata advantage of both tbe people and the Government. We therefore bespeak for tin* Government a firm and unfaltering support in this matter, by all our people, and are sure that virtuous patriot ism will triumph over all inconveniences. President Davis’ Veto. We publish elsewhere to day the President’s veto of the Bill passed by Congress to prevent the African Slave Trade, We see some of our exchanges, and hear some persons condemn ing the messtge on the ground that it revives the law of the United States, declaring it to be piracy and punishable with death. This is no reason why the President should approve an inconsistent law. A Bill to prevent tbe Slave Trade, and also providing, in certain contin gencies, for the enslavement of Africans taken on board of captured Slavers is inconsistent, and should never receive the sanction of fair dealing meu. If we are going to prohibit tbe 61ave Trade, let us do so—fully and squarely. If we are going to tolerate it, let that toleration be equally as explicit. Messrs. Corwin and Clay. The appointments of Messrs. Thomas Corwin and Cassius M. Clay as Foreign Ministers, is indeed significant. Mr. Corwin has been confirmed as Minister to Spain, with the view, doubtless, of prevent ing the acquisition of Cuba by the Confederate States. Cassius M. Clay has been also confirmed Minister to Mexico, mainly, if possible, to pre vent the acquisition of Mexican territory. Clay ia tbe most unscrupulous of public men, and will resort to any policy to prohibit tbe extension of African Slavery. From the known hostility of these appoin tees to Southern institutions, and from the fact of their being sent to Spain and Mexico at so early a day after the installation of Black Rc- pnblicanism, can only be explained by a de termination on the part of the Administration of Lincolu to destroy, if possible, the institu tions of the 8outh. The editor of the Athens “Banner” sug gests that we call onr now Government Cousin Sam, by way of investing it with a personali ty—and give*, as a res«on, that we are the off spring of Uncle Sain, and have inherited some property. We dissent from the idea that we are the offspring of our old Uncle, or that we have inherited anything from him. We made that same old Uncle all that ever was great and good about him. We give him his wealth, and furbished him with two-thirds of his spendjng money; and he, (ungrateful old skipe,) instead of appreciating our generosity, took counsel of our foes, and abused our unexampled kindness. For this, we have “cut" the acquaintance of the old gent. His new friends must now take care of him, or let him perisb, as they choose. No; our new Government must have a bet ter cognomen than Cousin Sam. Try again, friends of the 41 Banner.” The Wealth of Virginia. The Richmond Enquirer has the following statistics of the State of Virginia: Tliore are now in this State negroes of tbe estim ited value of nearly $400,000,000. Upon an inside estimate they yield, in gross surplus produce, from sales of negroes to go South, $10,000,000; tobacco, $8,000,000; flour. $8,000,- 000; corn, cotton and other products, $2,000,000 —a total of $28,000,000. Most of the negroes are in cismontane Virginia, and that section pays in taxation, on persons and personal prop erty, lands and lots, and licenses, $1,750,000, against $1,000,000 of transmoutane Virginia, or three-fourths more—though tho negroes iu tha Valley ore thrown in to help the division to which it is assigned. By the assessment of 1850, the transmout&ne lands are worth $166,- 000,000, the cismontane $210,000. and pay one- fourth more tax. Tho annual charge against the State for its iuternal improvement invest ment is one and tour-fifths millions, just about what cismontane Virginia contributes to the common fund. From about 1815 to 1815 emi gration to the South was greatest. In that time Virginia emigrated some 450,000 slaves ; in the middle decade of the term, 180,000 ; and, not withstanding the low price at which, with one short iuterval, slaves ruled in the three de cades, and tbe consequent encouragement to home agriculture, cismontaue lands went down 12^ per cent, in the face of a transmontane ap predation of 50 per cent.—a comparative loss to Eastern Virginia of 61J percent. General ttcotton Military Discipline. The following It a oopy of a lslter written by General Soolt to Mr. Fillmore, in 1847: “ HCAlMjl'ARTKM or TUI AaMT, ) Mexico, 1047. / My Dear SirI have received tbe two letter* (one from the Rev. M. Angler and ike other signed by Mr. Van Wyck,) taking, on several grounds, the dieeharg* of Joe. Thomp son, a private in (he eeoond Artillery. “ First— He hasoinoehis enlistment reform ed his habile. This is an argomeot in favor of his serving out bis time, lest be should lapse, if discharged, before confirmed in hie reformation. Military discipline highly fa vors reformation. “Second—lie has become pious. This makes him at onoe a better soldier and better man, and fortunately we are nbt without many pious officers and men in our ranks; but, 44 Third—U is alleged be has imbibed con scientious scruples againel performing milita ry duty. If the man be tned, be oan be dis charged on a surgeon’s certificate to that ef fect; but if be has only turned ooward, we have ample, means of puishing him, if he should, when ordered, refuse to fight. “ I return these letters loyou enclosed, and remain, my dear sir, with great esteem, •* Yours, truly, [Signed] 44 WINFIELD SCOTT. 44 liON. M. FlLLMOBl.” $dT The Washington correspondent of the New Y'ork Evening Day Book, sends the fol lowing despatch to that paper: Wasuinotox, March 10.—The Republicans here are circulating tbe rumor that Major An. dersou has been bought over by President Da vis, and is now a secessionist! They say that Anderson has been playing false; that be ought to have adiieed the government before the adjournment of Congress that he was out of provisions. He it also accused of allowing his men, whose terms of enlistment have expired, to go, when, it is said, that he can retain them by law, in view of his peril. It seems now as it Anderson was to be the “scape-goat” of the Republicans. Wills of Revolutionary Characters. An antiquarian, who has been looking over the records at Albany, brings to light tbe wills of some of the Revolutionary veterans. Among them is the will of Baron Steuben, da ted Feb. 12, 1804. After the usual covenant he says : 44 Sufficient reasons having determined me to exclude my relatives in Europe from any participation of my estates in America, and to adopt my friends aud former aids-de-camp, Benjamin Walker and William North, as my children, and make them solo divieees, except to ray servants one s years wages, and to my valel-de-cliamber all my wearing apparel; but I do hereby declare that these legacies to my servants are to boon tbe following conditions: that on my decease they do not permit any person to touch my body, not even to change tbe shirt in which I shall die, but that they wrap me up in ray old military cloak, and in j twenty hours after my decease bury me in eucb spot as I shall, before my decease, point out to them, and that they never acquaint any person with the plaoe where I am buried.” Whether the place of his burial has ever been made known the antiquarian could not ascertain. But his request savors of the mysterious. General Hirkimer’s will is dated February 7,1777. He says: “ Further, it ia my ex press will and order that if by the provdence of God, tny present beloved wife and future widow, afier my decease, should lawfully marry one of my brother’s sons, that they shall have and enjoy the interests and rents of all lapds,” &c. “ But in case my said wife marry with sons of ray sister’s sons, then the said rents and interests shall appertain to them and their heirs.” Gnonoia Cwnmmoi.—W* learn from Pres ideat Houston that there is no doubt of the •needy completion of a connection between the Peneaeola A Georgia Railroad aad ibo Sa vannah, Albany and Gulf Road. Tho points of dlvergenee agreed>pon are at Housten on the Pensaoola A Georgia and Lawton (Vo. J2.) on the Savannah road. Distance between the (wo points is 47 miles, 22 of whfob are in Florida and 26 in Georgia. The centred* for gradlog, Ac., have beeu given out by both companies. The Florida oontraetora have al ready graded some two miles of tbeir contract and pro to $omplets the whole by tbe ftret of November—payment to be In the stock of tbe company- The grading of the Georgia and ia to be finished by the first of January. This settles tbe matter of this long talked of and important connection. It ie inevitably fixed. — Tallahassee Floridian <$* Journal Ifl/A. India Ruhher Wat** Floor Vabnibii.—A writer in the Scientific American stye ; I have used a solution of India rubber and turpentine for about twenty years, as a water proof varnish for my boots end eboee. I make tbe application before blacking ie put on, or else remove the blaol log by water.— When tbe leather i) moist, I take tbe solution of india rubber and apply it with a rag, tak ing care to rub it in ; then I put the bool in a moderately warm place until tbe whole is absorbed. The process is repeated twioe, or until the pores of the leather are filled, and tbe surplus ie wiped off. In a few days after wards, blacking may be put on, and tbe leath er will polish well. By this method of treat ing my boots, l make them not only Water tight, but also much more durable, and the leather is always kept soft and pliable. 1 treat every pair of new bools in the manner described, and effect a considerable annual saving thereby. Tin Exiled Bourbons—Now that King Francis and hie family have quitted Naples, there are in exile not fewer than fifty five members of the Bourbon family out of seventy four who are the direct or collateral descendants of Louis NI V. Tbe fifty-five are these : —The Bourbons of Naples, consisting of King Fran cis, five brothers, and four sisters; his Maj jesty’s uncles—Prinoe de Capnu and two chil dren, Count d’Aquila and two children, Count de Trapani and gvej; hie Majesty's aunts— Queen Marie Amelia, widow of King LouiB Phillippe; tbe Duchess de Berry, and the Duchess de Salerno, and, lastly, a cousin ger man, the Duchess d'Aumale—total 20. The Bourbons of Spain—:he Infante Don Juan and two children—total, 8. The Bourbons of France—Count de Chambord, the Duchess de Parma and four children—total, G. Tbe Or leans branch of the French Bourbons—the Count de Paris, the Duke de Chartres, tbe Duke de Nemours and four children, the Prince de Joinville and two, the Duke de Aumale and two, the Duke dc Montpensier and six—total, 20. Nineteen Bourboue are not in exile, namely, the royal family of Spain, 10 in num ber ; the Empress of Brazil (nee Princess of Naples;) the Duchess Augustus of Saxe Co burg Gotha (nee Prince d'Orleans,) and the Charles III. of Parma, Infante of Spain, who abdicated. Direct Trade and Cotton-Spinner*’ Con vention. This important Convention will meet in this city on tbe 19th instant, when we hope to see a full attendance of delegates from all partsot the Confederate States. Our city Council, at its last regular meeting, appointed the following-named gentlemen a Committee of Invitation, Ac.: Messrs. S. B. Robson, T. C. Howard, aud A. A. Gaulding. Divorcki ix Alabama.—Among other | changes proposed by the Committee on the ; Constitution of the Alabama State Convention, j ia ono in regard to divorces. At now prevaila ' in that Stale, tho law requires that the divoroe i decree of a Court of Chancery in which the ’ bill obtaining it must be filed, is afterwards confirmed by the Legislature. Mr. Cochran, Chairman of the Committee, has reported in favor of making Chancery decrees for divorce final without being referred to the Legislature for oonfirma’tion. Macon Indlpnndknt Y’oluntekrs.- We learn from Capt. Addcrhold that this company has been accepted by the Provisional Government of the Confederate Statee and relinquished for that purpose by tbe Governor of Georgia.— The company will be received into service with any number of file from fifty to eighty, five. Now is the time for tbe volunteers to come forward and fill up ice ranks to the high - eel number. The rolls for this purpose will be kept open for a few days only.—Macon Tele graph. ■ ■+ ♦ » — Fort Jackson.—A company of the first Regiment of Georgia Army, numeriog 07 men rank and file, left on tbe steamer ‘Ida, for Fort Jackson, on Saturday morning last, un- dor command of the following officers : Cap- iain r Jacob Read; let Lieutenant, John Mil— lege,| jr.; 2nd Lieut. Michael L. Case. They oarried with them two twelve pound howitzers, which were brought down from Ike Georgia Military Inttitute at Mafletl*.—Hat, Republi can. How Dovui.as Mu. Lincoln’s Hat.— A Cincinnati pnper gives the following inci dent of the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln: 41 One of the Representatives of this State in Congress reports an interesting and rather fun ny incident of the inauguration, which, not having seen in print, vre record. On approach ing the platform whore lie was to take hia oath and be inducted into the office of Chief Exe cutive, Mr. Lincoln removed his hat and held it in hi* hand os be took theaeat assigned him. The article seemed to be a burden. He changed it awkwardly from one to another, and finally, despairing of finding for it any other easy po sition, deposited it upon tbe platform beside him. Senator* and Judges crowded in, and to make room for them be removed nearer the front of the stage, carrying bit tile wit« him.— Again it was dandled uneasily, and as Senator Baker approached to introduce him to the au dience he made a motion as if to replace the tile on the stage under the seat, when Douglas, who had been looking on quietly, and appar ently with some apprehensions of a catastro- f )ho to the hat said, * Fermit ruo, sir,’ and gal- anlly took the vexatious article and held it during the entire reading of the Inaugural !— Douglas must have reflected pretty seriously during that half-hour, tbat instead of deliver ing an inaugural address from that portico, he was holding the hatof the man who was doing it.” ♦ Tnr. Inundations in Holland.—A corres pondent of tbe Daily ‘News,’ writing from Amsterdam on the 8J ioat,. says : The inun- dationa referred to in my last are spreading with fearful rapidity. As the ice breaks up notwithstanding that the thaw is gradual and unaccompanied with tbe heavy galea, the waters collected in the upper localities of the country, and, overflowing tbe dykes, lay villages and towns under water, caus ing great loss of property and human life. Tbe small German frontier town of Emmerich ia six feet under water; Arnl.eim ia impatei ble from the Hood which permeates itnstreeis. More than fitly villages are totally submer ged. and thousands of families hare been ob liged to leave their homes to seek a house less shelter in the higher districts. It is fear ed that this city may yet become the prey of the invadiog elemeut. Tbe consternation ie great, while the prospect of the danger in creases with the arrival of every telegram and train. For some days a considerable portion of the Dutch Rheniah Railway has been un der water, and tbe rails displaced, so that communication with Germany has become al most impossible. It would really seem as if old Neptune had turned annexationist, aud bad commissioned his tributary streams to flow over the domain wrested from him by the industry of man and reconnect it with the ooean from which it was stolen.
